[MRCA] BCC-39 pack frame?

[W2HX]

Ok, ok, I know this is a R.E.A.L. long shot, but

I have a line on a BCC-39B with a soft backpack carrier. I was REALLY hoping
to get one of those nice metal pack frames that would allow the radio to be
set down on the ground/table and remain vertical.   Alas, the BCC-39B I am
looking at does not have this metal frame.

is there any snowball's chance, someone has (or can locate) one of these
pack frames? My concern is that these frames cannot be found on their own,
and can only be found accompanying a radio. If that is the case then to
acquire a frame I would eventually end up purchasing a second radio (with
the frame) and selling the one I am looking at currently (not desirable).

Thoughts/input/opionions all welcome appreciated.

here is a photo of what I am looking for:
